Sosok.ID – Beautiful and smart presenter, Najwa Shihab the public suddenly stirred up when he expressed his wish.
This woman who is known for being straightforward and firm when interviewing politicians expressed her desire to be number one in this country.
In fact, this wish was heard by the former Governor of DKI Jakarta who is now the Commissioner of PT Pertamina, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok).
This expression was made by the child of one of the famous scholars in Indonesia while chatting online with Ahok.
He also added whether he could become President of Indonesia even though he was not an indigenous person.
The question was raised to Ahok during the conversation.
This was said by Najwa because he was of Arab descent.
“According to Koh Ahok, of Chinese descent or of Arab descent like me, can you become president or not?” said Najwa Shihab, quoted from YouTube Najwa Shihab, Monday (17/8/2020).

What was revealed by Najwa Shihab made Ahok laugh a moment after hearing from the presenter’s mouth.
However, Ahok still answered Najwa’s doubts.
“Arabic can do it,” said Ahok,
“In terms of belief,” he added.
Ahok explained that the rules for who can run for president have been clearly regulated in the law.
“But it’s still not original in quotes, can it still be?” asked Najwa Shihab.
“The law is okay,” said Ahok.
Hearing Ahok’s explanation, Najwa brought up his conversation with BUMN Minister Erick Thohir some time ago.

At that time, he asked about the news of Erick’s progress in running for president in 2024.
“I remember asking Mas Erick, ‘someone said they wanted to be ambitious in 2024, right? It’s not Javanese, if it’s not Javanese, you can’t’, so especially if it’s Arab descent like me,” said Najwa Shihab.
Hearing Najwa’s statement, Ahok laughed again.
Nevertheless, Ahok answered Najwa’s statement with a reflection of himself when he was running in his candidacy for Governor of DKI Jakarta in 2017.
“No, the proof is that people prefer Arab descent over Chinese,” he said Ahok.
